My god I hope the Rockets win...
Submitted this question on ESPN Dallas chat:
Jerry (Dallas)
If the Mavs lose tonight, kiss the playoffs goodbye. Even if they beat GS, Chicago and ATL might still be playing to secure playoff seeding and home court in ATL case, and I don't see the Mavs winning either of those 2 on the road. Your thoughts?

Jerry, you could be right on. A loss tonight would be catastrophic. I mean what hope is there if you can't beat Houston on your home floor? As for the last 2 games, it really just depends what Chicago and Atlanta are playing for. Chicago could be battling for East homecourt or for the whole thing and Atlanta could still be battling for the No. 4 seed and homecourt, which is big. Those games will be tough if those teams are playing for something. tonight is huge. I might have understated that in my column today to be honest.

It would be meltdown mode in Dallas if the Rockets win. Go Rockets!
If the Rockets win, it puts the Mavs on track to finish in that 7-8 spot, which would put the Spurs on a collision course with them in the first round.
Not that I'm afraid of the Mavs, they're really not playing very well right now, but I'd much rather play the Rockets or Suns than the defending champs in round 1.
I wouldn't. I would love to curb stomp them on the way to the

Only someone with borderline mental re ation would think meeting Dallas in a first round series is a good idea. Win or lose, it would be a hard fought rivalry series that could potentially take a lot out of the Spurs. When the Mavs play the Spurs they play with an edge.I wouldn't. I would love to curb stomp them on the way to the
Both the Rockets and the Suns have the ability to turn it up a notch and make the Spurs work, but not the way Dallas does. I think the Spurs would beat Dallas but I'd much rather the Spurs face those other two teams.
Phoenix will be the odd one out, considering the Suns have an extremely nasty finishing schedule (OKC, Denver, LAC, Utah (on the road), SA). Since Dallas has the tiebreaker on Utah I think their playoff spot is pretty close to being cemented.
mavs are the weakest defending champs since 06-07 Miami Heat tbh. they're winning the playoff berth only to get embarrassed & asskicked in the 1st round by them spurs or lakers. mavs just a ing joke tbh last season was a fluke, 1 & done for them imho
Cuban's stupidity is what cost them. If they resign Chandler they have a real chance of repeating.
No, that Miami Heat team was literally crawling into the playoffs. Never saw a championship team as weak as them.
Weakest use of the clubby in a while.
I hate when people misuse "literally."
Ugh, they were METAPHORICALLY crawling into the playoffs. There, since I hurt people's feelings by misusing a word.
Reminds me of a pro wrestling commentator who once said "He just LITERALLY KNOCKED HIS HEAD OFF!!!"
David Cross:
"...one of the things i can't stand, one of my like pet peeves, is people who misuse the word "literally". ing that drives me up a wall. When you misuse the word "literally" you are using it in the exact opposite way it was intended when you that up, you it up so bad..."
"HE LITERALLY RIPPED HIS HEAD OFF ON THAT PLAY"
"HE LITERALLY GREW WINGS AND ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN WHERE GOD BLESSED HIM WITH THIS GODLIKE DEFENSIVE BLOCKING CAPABILITY..."

Looks like you're - metaphorically - the butthurt one here.
